Maybe because by the time one gets to the chocolate-wine course one is too blotto to notice.<br /><br />If you haven't tried it, I recommend Tcho chocolates (not with wine.) I like the "citrus" the best. It's a little cool here to have at SF "room" temperature; best at &PFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928509365966199902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-76683736213563304222010-02-19T20:14:56.364-08:002010-02-19T20:14:56.364-08:00Maybe it's just me, but I value opinions more ...Maybe it's just me, but I value opinions more when the person holding them isn't hiding behind anonymity.W.

OMG! How dare the mainstream media try to tell YOU what goes well - isn't it YOUR job to tell them?? Sorry folks, but wine and carefully paired chocolate works.

Coincidentally I just tried their dry pomegranate wine -- I'm in Tel Aviv at the Israeli Wine Expo right now -- and thought it quite interesting. But the dessert wine is better, and an excellent chocolate match.<br /><br />Jim: I can see that.<br /><br />Zin: To each her own.W.
